Really?  What would obligate them to  do anything after the warrantee  
parameters have expired ? 
 We recently heard from a Digest member that BMW NA  told him that at 100K miles 
he had received the useful life out of the  engine.(Both engines were the cast iron  "6") 
(He had a cylinder head crack in one car and bad camshaft in the other.)
